For round beads, I would've definitely just balled rods or 12/10 gauge wire letting them drop down into some cold water once they got too heavy. I've been looking to cast spiked beads since I can't find any pure copper spike beads.
❤❤❤
That’s not working very well at all
Thank you! You’ve convinced me I can do copper! I currently use argon for aluminum, and I have thoriated tungsten for when I do stainless, and I have a TIG machine that can put out 750 amps if needed! Another video showed I can use copper wire as a filler! If I planned to do copper a lot, I would set up specifically for it. But since I only need to tie a couple of electric buss bars together and they don’t have to look pretty, I’m sure now I can give it a go! THANKS again!!
Please look up my friend from lincolnshire Michael scrimshaw he does the same as you and his work is amazing

Good 👍 job
I admire your courage in taking on such a project. Your piece is well-formed. I particularly enjoyed watching you develop and grow through the process. Your commentaries are also humorous and speak to your growth. Just think, in prehistory, your hammers were stones, anvils were stones, no welders, grinders, files, or tongs. As to your message: "End World Hunger", I applaud your awareness of the issue. Sadly, the cause is not a "Nature" issue, but a "greed and profit" one. Over the 20th and into this century, corporations use quotas to regulate prices. Produce that exceeds their targets are disposed of to keep the illusion of scarcity and lack. I remember back in 1973 when I think it was DelMonte, completely destroyed their banana plantations in South Africa to increase the price from 10 cents a pound to one dollar a pound. They still had their operations in Central and South America, where labor at that time was cheaper. That behavior by corporations is robustly practiced to this day. Sorry for the sermon...but it is really good to see young people like yourself being aware and drawing attention to the global rot based on greed and lies. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.
Well done!! Really nice that you documented the process. My hands are way to shaky to get this done.
Tip, try using a heavier hammer,e.g. club hammer, you won't need to hit the bar as many times.
Get yourself a pallet buster, half the time and half the effort.
Awesome video thank you

Where do you get the pallets from?
Use a palette breaker. Hammer and crawfoot are useless.
The "Euro" pallets with the blocks of either solid wood, plywood, or sawdust will also come apart easily if you whack the blocks HARD with an 8-pound sledge parallel to the deck. There's a lot more waste, strips of MDF and such but many of these "Euro's" feature plywood decks. I have become much more discriminating about which pallets I pick up, I have a dozen or so to strip before the snow flies.
thank you Charis , i did buy a 36 inch crowbar and as you said its too thick to fit between the wooden planks . its just good for destroying something. i used it to take a couch apart . it was great for that if you don't care about the pieces. i will try your method. it about working smarter not stronger. love the attire . but maybe some safety gloves to :). i think the term for tools is crowbar and Prybar
The amount of time this took I rather buy the wood. If using pet wood get a pallet buster
👍👍👍👍👍
I think it would have been better if the cable came out at the base
people, get a pallet pal, this method is old, noisy and tedious.
Одобряю
Beautiful!, it's a work of art!, I have a lamp identical to it which I tried to restore but I can't stop it from leaking so I think I'll copy your idea. Many thanks. Le gra!. Gérard lacey in Ireland. X.
I just seen you on TV...on Quest.... Congratulations ! and good luck with the show..😉
Use helium for TIG welding copper. Argon will give you a crap weld.
amazing
Outstanding job 👍
its probably 40 amps per mm, so 5mm is 200 amps?
Neat!
Great video Charis
Watching this in 2021 and loving it👌
Lovely...the lamp too.
👍👍👊😎
